Linda graduated from Adams City High School in 1964. She married her husband, Isidor Harold Quint on June 3, 1967 and they married for nearly 54 years. They spent their many years together living life to the fullest through simple pleasures. The first memorable job Linda had was as a waitress on skates at the A&W Restaurant in Commerce City, Colorado. She also spent over 25 years in the office supply industry working at McKesson and United Stationers before retiring. Linda enjoyed being creative and making various projects. She crocheted blankets for her daughters, perfected her tole painting skills on different wooden projects, completed a few cross-stitch pieces, made ceramic pieces, and designed floral arrangements for weddings. One of Linda's greatest passions was reading. She never had the opportunity to go to college, but was a life long learner. She enjoyed watching tv programs about historical events and learning many new things. A large part of Linda's time was spent supporting her daughters with their 4-H projects and also as a 4-H leader. She made many wonderful friendships during those times and had the chance to go on some memorable and entertaining 4-H trips too. Linda and Harold enjoyed traveling with friends on cruise vacations to exotic places far from Colorado when they had the chance as well. Linda loved when the Landolsi family came to visit from France. There were so many special visits with them over the years. Linda enjoyed spending time with her family and spent most Sundays visiting with her brother Gerald over dinner and laughing at his jokes. Linda's greatest pride was her granddaughter Jordan whom she was very proud of and loved tremendously. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and aunt. Linda was a beautiful person inside and out and will be missed immensely.

She is also survived by her brothers Jim (Connie) Phillips and Gerald Phillips, her sister Lora (Paul) Doyle, brother-in-law's Terry (Cindy) Quint, and Clayton Nichols, as well as many nieces and nephews.
